>>13902827It kind of depends on what you are looking for. If you want an easy, story like overview of science without an understanding of the methodology or the details,
>>13904538 this is what you need.
If you want to get a grasp of how the world actually works, grab some intro books. All uni courses have an intro class in my experience, which is a short but detailed summary of the fundamentals. Intro to biology, intro to physics etc..
Alternatively you could submerge yourself in one field, which will give you an understanding of how science works, and then you can branch out from there.
In this case i would suggest biology, as that covers a lot of stuff from thermodynamics through inorganic chemistry, organic chem, biochem, biophysics, physics of chemistry, genetics, anatomy, neurology, evolution, ecology, behavioral sciences, biogegoraphy all the way to some minor astronomy (understanding the way life came into being and the necesseary conditions for such chemistry).
Those are the approaches that come to mind, and i apologise for my terrible english, i do most of my work in hungarian, french or german (of which the later two i am equally bad at).
